Lower California.

The idea that the boundary line
Just south of San Diego totally changes
the resources and climate on the other
side, from oasis to desert, popularity
prevails. 1t is no more true than was
the old mythical "Great North Amer
ican Desert OF our schoolboy days
Biographies. Eleven years ago Cap
tain Il. E. Adams, of this city, took a
wagon trip to Rosario on the 3lst par
allel. He found fertile land, well
watered and comparatively uninhab-
tied. As soon as the International
Company of Mexico secured perfect
title to 5000 900 acres in the penin-
sula Captain Adams went to San
Qaintin, and on muleback travelled
and explored the interior for distance
of 500 miles. He found grand coun-
try, fertile, we'll timbered and watered.
He purchased stock ranch there of
%, 900 acres. There is a valuable
spring OF minera! water on his ranch.
He explored the great mountain
known as San Pedro de Martis, and
was on its sides at an elevation OF over
l8, 900 feet above sea-level. He thinks
OF eventually settling at the new town
Of San Quintin to live out his days IN
the mild, even cline Of the racine
coast OF the peninsula. In another
colus,n will be found an advertise'
ment Of some valuable lands which
he has for sale there.

TWO DRINKS FOR A DIME.
Two Ingenious kOgues Evoke u
Bartender,s Admiration,

A friend told me an amusing expe-
rience the other day, which illustrates
the ingenuity which man, when he
wants drink very badly, will exer-
else in order to obtain relief for his
inordinate sppetite. 1t appears, says
the Chicago Journal, that a young
man approached him on the street
and. telling pitious tale of privation
and woe, solicited enough to purchase
a meal. My friend, who is peculiarly
open to these appeals, much to the
detriment Of his purse, gave the fellow
all he had about him in change-ten
cents-telling him that would at all
events keep him from starving. :,
Seizing the money the man started
off and was joined by companion
who had been watching developments
from short distance, and the two
made off at round pace in earnest
consultation and were followed out OF
curiosity by my friend. The two en-
tered saloon where whiskey is re-
tailed at ten cents glass, and the
first man, throwing down his dime,
called for whiskey straight. Seizlng
the bottle ne poured out level tam-
blerful, much to the secret indigna-.
ton of the bartender, who muttered
something about "taking bath"
Raising the glass to his lips the fel-
low drank half the contents, when,
suddenly stopping with a look OF dis
gust, he said. whats the matter
with this whisky, anyhow ?" NAV
thin" replied the knight OF the white
apron and the Alaska diamond head
light. "You must be off yer base !;
there amt nawthin' the matter with
it,.
"Let me taste it," said the friend,
and taking the glass he drained it to
the dregs. 81 don't see nothing the
matter with it"
"Well, may be wrong" said the
other, and the two were leaving the
saloon, when the bartender, whose
anger had changed into admiration,
said: "Look here, you two chaps if
ever you are hard up for a drink come
in here and I'll stand treat. Pve been
in business for ten years, and thought
l knew all the ropes, but this takes
the cake"
My friend was of the same opinion,
and said if he had another dime in
his pocket he would have bestowed it
on the ingenious rogue.-[New York

The Police Court.

Tobe Wilson, the "King OF the
Tramps," received fifty days on the
chaingang yesterday for drunkenness.
Tobe looked disguised, because it was
not fifty days of lazy life and plenty
TO eat in the County Jail. W. A..
Curry paid $40 for having run sa-
loon in the United States Hotel with
out having first procured a license.
Three Cinnamon who had engaged in
"washee-washee" after 10 p. M. were
fined So apiece. Charles Davenport,
who was found in Sadie Philips bag
nio when it was raided on Thursday
morning, paid SIS for having visited a
house Of ill fame. Morris Braken,
went on q plain drunk, was mulcted
in the sum of So. Il. G. Burlingame,
the contractor, was tried yesterday for
having caused false alarm OF fire. 1t
appeared from the evidence for the
defense that one OF the employees OF the
contractor had not filled out his in
structions. The court found the de-
fendant guilty and fined him $l5.

Vastness of the British Museum.

There is one lesson to be got from Il
visit of an hour or two in the British
Museum, namely, the fathomless
abyss of our own ignorance. One is
almost ashamed of his little paltry
heartbeats in the presence OF the
rushing and roaring torrent OF the
Niagara. So if he had published Il
little book or two, collected a few fos-
sils, or coins, or vases, he would be
crushed by the vastness OF the treas
ures in the library and the collections
of this universe OF knowledge.
l have shown how not to see the
British Museum; | will tell you how
to see it:
Take lodging next door to it-in Il
garret, if you cannot afford anything
better-and pass all your days at the
Museum during the whole period OF
your natural life. At three score and
ten you will have some faint concep-
ton of the contents, significance and
value of this great British institution,
which is as nearly as any one spot
most vital of human civilization, a
stab at which by the dagger OF an
archy would fitly begin the reign o.
chaos.-[Oliver Wendell Holmes il

A Threadbare Argument.

The free trade papers continue to talk ~
their readers about the increased price VI
goods becauss ofthc tariff, That such men
as Henry Watterson should indulge IN thi.
ki1d0f writing Is one OF those ineXplicl1,a
puzzles, the reason Tor which, az Dun fralry
said, "No feller can lind out" Men Ike
Mr.. Watterson, with hrains and culture,
and withal desiring the good OF tbecoGu'rV,
ought not to make statements so utterly ~
variance with the facts as they exist.
All the manufactured articles purchased
by the farmer are cheaper now than they
were in the days when we imported them,
and there was no tarlfT for protection, hut
only such duties levied aud on such articles
as were necessary to produce the small
sum reeded to pay the expenses OF the gov
eminent. But strange as IL may seem,
nearly all these articles are cheaper than
they are IN free trade Eugand.
The paid agents OF the C)blen Club AMI
Of foreign manufacturing association
should be allowed u monopoly Of tue talk
that prices are increased because OF poo
lection. 1t is absolutely untrue when pro-
lection stimulates home production to tn
extent OF supplying the home market and
creating a surplus for expectation.
The only article on which the price is
increased by an import duty are those
which cannot be produced in sufficient
quantities to supply the home demand.
Sugar is an instance of this, and the duty
on that is really 'for revenue only" as
Secretary Manning said In hi. last report to
| Congress, and the price Is increased to the
consumer the full amount of the inpost.
The people Of the country are bagnuing
| to understand the difference between "a
| tariff for protection" and "a tariff for
revenue only" and that the projected artt-
Gle is not only cheapened to the consumer,
but that the men who are engaged in AMI
paid for the making of that protected artI'
Gle are themselves consumers Of what
others produce.
Free traders aud revenue rerormers will
have to find a new argument, their old one
about "protection increasing prices" is now
| threadbare,

8. We adhere firmly to the American policy.
under whose operation uncXampIed prosperity
and thrift have blessed the land, and hold
that any changes to be made In the tariff laws
should be made by the friends 0f those laws,
and in the interest Of protection of labor on
our own soil and of home markets, not by or
in the interest OF free trad prOpagandiSts not
for the benefit of foreign producers aud lorelgn
labor. National taxation should be 50 al
iustod as to raise revenue sufficient for All
economic and wise administration of the gov.
eminent, for the payment of the public debt,
for the development of national resources,
and for national defense; but any reduction
should be so made as not to impair the pros
perity of home industries. American markets
must be preserved to the products of American
labor and capital and protected from foreign
encroachments.
